Sexual harassment in state authorities: AfD parliamentary group criticizes SPD application to create complaints

This article deals with a debate in the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg about sexual harassment in state authorities. The security policy AfD parliamentary group spokesman Hans-Jürgen Goßner criticized an SPD application from 2022, which proposes underpinemed complaints for all authorities. Goßner argued that all male state employees would put this under general suspicion. He pointed out that only a single penalty order was issued out of 58 criminal proceedings and that 55 disciplinary proceedings only led to around 20 consequences. With a total of 265,000 state employees, this corresponds to a share of only 0.0075 %. Goßner claimed that this was due to unconscious female psychoses and hatred of men. He also pointed out that in the event of crimes against sexual self -determination, a third of all suspects were suspicious foreigners, while the proportion in the state authorities was significantly lower. The article ends with the contact details of the press spokesman of the AfD parliamentary group and the address of the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg.

In order to create the local context of the debate, it could be interesting to point out a long history of discussions about sexual harassment and equality in Baden-Württemberg. Historical facts could, for example, contain information about previous laws or initiatives to protect victims of sexual harassment in the region.

A possible table could contain statistical information about state -based employees by gender and origin in order to illustrate the discrepancy mentioned by Goßner.
